Garden Party

Ricky Nelson

C F C F C G Am F G7 C

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends, a chance to share old memories and play our old songs again

F C F C F Dm7 G7 C

When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name, but no one recognized me, I didn’t look the same.

F G C F G C F C Dm7 G7 C

But it’s all right now, I’ve learned my lesson well, you see you can’t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself.

F C F C G Am F G7 C

People came from miles around, everyone was there. Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air.

F C F C F Dm7 G7 C

And over in the corner, much to my surprise, Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan’s shoes wearing his disguise.

F G C F G C F C Dm7 G7 C

But it’s all right now, I’ve learned my lesson well, you see you can’t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself.

F C F C G Am F G7 C

I played them all the old songs, I thought that’s why they came, No one heard the music, we didn’t look the same.

F C F C F Dm7 G7 C

I said hello to Mary Lou, she belongs to me. When I sang a song about a honkey-tonk, it was time to leave.

F G C F G C F C Dm7 G7 C

But it’s all right now, I’ve learned my lesson well, you see you can’t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself.

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B Goode playin guitar like a ringin a bell and lookin like he should

F C F C F Dm7 G7 C

If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck, but if memories were all I sang, I’d rather drive a truck.

F G C F G C F C Dm7 G7 C

But it’s all right now, I’ve learned my lesson well, you see you can’t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself.
